"The Mu Stellar King's daughter?!" Xiao Tu shouted out with a shocked look on his face.
Xin'er just nodded with a smile.
Xiao Tu and his five little sisters all looked at Xin'er with shocked looks when they heard this since they never thought that Xin'er would have this kind of origin.
They knew that Xin'er wasn't the strange shopkeeper's real daughter, but they never expected this.
Xiao Tu's face couldn't help filling with despair as he heard this because he knew the disparity in status between him and Xin'er had just jumped to the level of heaven and earth. He was nothing more than an orphan that had been picked up by the shopkeeper and Xin'er was now the one and only princess of the Mu Stellar Kingdom…
He thought that he had a chance when Xin'er didn't know who her real parents were, but now…
The five little sisters didn't mind because they didn't care about things like status. They were just happy for Xin'er that she had found her family and then they headed off to play.
Even though Xin'er had found her family, she still stayed in Lin Fan's store because she felt that it was awkward to leave them.
The Mu Stellar King had offered to build a brand new mansion for them, but Xin'er firmly rejected this.
So in the end, both Xin'er and Dongfang Tao Hua lived in the store together.
The Mu Stellar King had also wanted to move here, but since he was the Mu Stellar King, that was impossible. All he could do was visit as much as possible, but since he was the Mu Stellar King, he couldn't be more busy.
However, he was here today because he knew that Xin'er was about to tell her friends her real identity. He wanted to be there to comfort her in case something went wrong and to support her if it went well.
Naturally it didn't escape his sharp eyes the way that Xiao Tu looked at Xin'er.
Even a fool would be able to notice the way that Xiao Tu felt about Xin'er, so his protective emotions were immediately ignited.
But before he could do anything, Lin Fan stopped him.
He felt the same way about Xiao Tu, but he knew that doing anything to Xiao Tu would just make Xin'er sad and he wanted to see that even less. Of course, that didn't mean that he approved of Xiao Tu.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn his mind, there was no one that could be worthy of Xin'er.
The Mu Stellar King looked at Lin Fan with a strange look, so he had no choice but to explain. At the end of his explanation, he didn't forget to add, "He's not a bad kid, just a bit rash and headstrong."
Those were his honest feelings about Xiao Tu.
After all, Xiao Tu had been in his store for some time, so it was a lie to say that he didn't feel a small connection with the kid.
The Mu Stellar King knitted his brows, but he still accepted what Lin Fan said. He recognized that this was a first time being a parent for him and he recognized that Lin Fan was more experienced in this, so he listened to him.
But it still felt wrong letting this fly get so close to his cute daughter.
Lin Fan recognized the look on his face and said with a sly smile, "Of course, that doesn't mean that we'll be letting him do what he wants."
The Mu Stellar King revealed an interested look when he heard this and asked, "What do you have in mind?"
Lin Fan waved him over and then whispered a few of his evil ideas to him.
The Mu Stellar King was confused at first, but then his eyes lit up as he said with a smile, "That could work."
The two of them both had evil smiles on their faces as they looked at Xiao Tu who was silently watching Xin'er.
Xiao Tu had been focused on Xin'er, but when their gazes fell onto him, he couldn't help feeling a chill run down his back. He looked around himself to see where the source of this chill was coming from, but of course, with their higher cultivation, they were able to easily hide it from him.
It was just too bad that he didn't know about the torture that he would be facing in the future.
There were other people that came to the shop after the dust had settled and they were all surprised to find that Xin'er was the princess now. However, no one treated her any differently, or rather they didn't dare treat her differently with Lin Fan and the Mu Stellar King glaring at them.
The biggest surprise in the end wasn't actually the reveal that Xin'er was the princess, but rather the engagement between Yang Xi Ruo and Jun Xie.
After they became engaged, Lin Fan was shocked to find that Yang Xi Ruo had been completely tamed by Jun Xie. She no longer acted the same way as before and was like putty in his hands as she followed him wherever he went.
He really couldn't help feeling envy for just a second before quickly putting away those thoughts.
If Angela were to ever find out that he had had these thoughts…
The ending result would be too ugly to look at.
It seemed that everything was about to be settled and that the situation would become stable, but there was still one thing that was looming over their heads.
The Mu Stellar Kingdom and the Ran Stellar Kingdom were about to go to war with the Tai Stellar Kingdom and the Bai Stellar Kingdom.
This was a national affair that was impossible to ignore and every part of the Mu Stellar Kingdom prepared for this.
All the troops had gathered and they were getting ready to be deployed the moment that the Tai Stellar Kingdom and the Bai Stellar Kingdom made their move. That seemed like it would happen any day now since the Tai Stellar Kingdom and the Bai Stellar Kingdom had already moved their troops closer to the Mu Stellar Kingdom and Ran Stellar Kingdom borders.
Everyone was looking forward to this war because they all believed that the Tai Stellar Kingdom and the Bai Stellar Kingdom were fools for trying to declare war on them. So they wanted to gain glory in battle and then raise their own prestige.
This was a perfect opportunity for all the nobles now that the new Mu Stellar King had taken over. It was also a perfect opportunity for the former princes since they no longer were able to become the Mu Stellar King, so they needed to raise their own positions with battle glory.
Everyone was looking forward to this war, but this war shouldn't have had anything to do with Lin Fan.
But it actually did have a connection to Lin Fan.
Or rather, the Tai Stellar Kingdom had a connection to Lin Fan.
Technically, Lin Fan was still a fugitive that was wanted by the Tai Stellar Kingdom for what had happened in the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
After what he did, it was impossible for the Bing and Huo Families to let him off, so his only option was to take care of the Tai Stellar Kingdom before they took care of him. However, the other side was an entire Stellar Kingdom, so it was impossible for Lin Fan who was only in the True Soul Realm to take care of them by himself.
Just a single World Realm Expert from either of the families would be able to take him out, so there was nothing that he could do.
That all changed now that there was an imminent war between the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdoms and the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms.
If the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdom were to win and take care of the Tai Stellar Kingdom for him…then wouldn't that take care of his problem?
So as long as he supported the Mu and Ran Stellar Kingdoms in the war, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, even without his previous connection with the Tai Stellar Kingdom, he would still help the Mu Stellar Kingdom.
Xin'er's real father was the Mu Stellar King and he was a good friend of Lin Fan's, so it wasn't as if Lin Fan would just abandon him.
But before he could do anything, he had to talk to the Mu Stellar King about this and there was no better time than this.
So he tapped the Mu Stellar King and pointed to the side to signal that he wanted to talk alone.
The Mu Stellar King was surprised by this, but he still followed Lin Fan since he was curious about what he wanted to say.
He had known Lin Fan for some time now and it was rare for him to see Lin Fan acting this way. Normally, Lin Fan was much more silent and mysterious, so for Lin Fan to take the initiative to ask him to talk, something had to be up.
"You want to provide training for our army?" The Mu Stellar King said with a shocked look after hearing Lin Fan's suggestion.
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod in response.
He had already thought about how he could help the Mu Stellar Kingdom's army and he knew that this was the best way. After all, his special thing was his ability to train pets with his system, so the only thing that he could do for the Mu Stellar Kingdom was training the pets of their troops.
Of course, he had to ensure that he could do this with the store and after confirming, he had found a way.
What he would do is set up a temporary shop in the military camp that would train pets for the military, but they would have to pay him according to the prices set by the main shop. As for who would pay for it, it would naturally be the Mu Stellar Kingdom since they couldn't expect the soldiers to pay for this themselves.
They would bankrupt themselves before they could pay Lin Fan's price.
So to put it simply, he would act as a contractor to the Mu Stellar Kingdom army, training their pets for them.
The Mu Stellar King stroked his chin to think about it before giving a hesitant nod in agreement to this idea.
One part of this decision was his personal feelings and Xin'er's feelings towards Lin Fan, but the bigger part of his decision was that he had personally seen the effects of Lin Fan's store's training.
His pet's power had surged after receiving just a single training session from Lin Fan, so if the experts of their army could receive the same training…It would give them a greater chance of defeating the Tai and Bai Stellar Kingdoms.
But there was still something he was worried about.
The Mu Stellar King hesitated a bit before asking, "But what are you going to tell Xin'er?"
Lin Fan also slightly knitted his brows when he heard this.
